Danielle is everything a postpartum mom could hope for in a postpartum doula! She listened to my priorities for that time period and helped me in so many extra ways, like keeping my kitchen/house tidy and making sure I was eating. I did not realize how important those extra supportive touches would be for my mental health during recovery, but they meant everything. Every mom deserves a person like Danielle supporting them. She anticipated my needs before I even thought to ask, listened to me when I needed a fellow mom to talk to, and (most importantly) was AMAZING with my children.
Although she did stay with us for a few night shifts (which was amazing), Danielle was mostly there supporting me during the day. One of the most important things she did was sibling care. She helped me integrate the baby into my older child’s life in a way where he felt like he was getting extra attention and play time, rather than losing time with his mom. It was such a weight off my mind and made his transition from only child to older brother so much better than I ever thought possible. Danielle also helped when I needed a lactation consult—an appointment that probably would have taken me weeks to arrange in my postpartum state she scheduled in about 5 minutes (for the next day!) by reaching out to her many contacts and resources. I cannot say enough good things about working with her! Do yourself a favor by having her as part of your postpartum journey.

Danielle is an amazing doula and was incredibly helpful for our family. As first time parents, having Danielle as a calm presence and knowledgeable resource was so beneficial in supporting our postpartum period. We purchased her fourth trimester package and was able to have her visit for four nights after coming home from the hospital. She helped answer many of our urgent questions, reduced the need for 3am panic Google searches, and helped us get some good rest after the birth so we could be ready to take care of our newborn. We also asked her to visit a couple times during the day later on to give us a good break when we were overwhelmed and exhausted. She was wonderful with our baby girl. She also helped us with a postpartum planning session prior to the birth so we would feel as prepared as possible. I would highly recommend Danielle to any family looking to have a positive and supported postpartum journey!

My husband and I worked with Danielle after the birth of our first daughter and I can't recommend her enough. We were looking for extra support, comfort, and knowledge while transitioning into the role of new parents and she was exactly what our family needed.
From the moment she arrived, she brought a sense of calm and reassurance to our home. She was incredibly knowledgeable about newborn care, baby wearing, and breastfeeding, and always offered guidance in a gentle, supportive way. She also always offered to help with things around the house while caring for our daughter and provided a safe space for me to process through the early postpartum days.
What really stood out was her intuition—she always seemed to know what our daughter needed and helped tremendously at nights to soothe her and help her transition to sleep which in turn helped us get more of that precious sleep that is so valuable in the early days and weeks. Her presence made my recovery so much smoother and more peaceful.
I wholeheartedly recommend Danielle to any new parent. She’s a true gift during a vulnerable and important time.​

"Danielle has been a wonderful addition to my postpartum journey. We started our work together shortly before I gave birth, FaceTiming and discussing my fears, excitements, and preparation that I had already completed in regards to my upcoming plunge into motherhood. She also gave me ideas of other things I could implement and let me share what was on my heart in regards to delivery and postpartum without judgement. She gave me helpful advice with practical strategies and systems I could easily implement, even with birth on the horizon. After I delivered, Danielle checked in with me regularly and acted as a sounding board for my new momma woes, and provided valuable advice and encouragement, which was especially helpful in those early, more difficult days. Danielle and I continue to work together almost 8 weeks later. She is extremely knowledgeable and works to help you feel comfortable and capable…She is an invaluable resource. I cannot recommend working with her enough. "

" Danielle was a great help to my family. We hired her after I began to have trouble with insomnia and anxiety postpartum. Part of my problem was that I had trouble sleeping while trusting other people to take care of the baby, which is hard to explain to family members without offending them. (Most of my fears were illogical or neurotic and embarrassing to explain.) Danielle understood completely. She was very trustworthy, and I was able to get some much needed rest when she did overnights. A huge step in the right direction for my recovery."

"We hired Danielle last month for post partum support with our second baby during Covid-19. And, it was the best decision we could have made during these unprecedented times! Danielle truly made a world of difference in our lives and helped us navigate life with 2 kiddos. Her knowledge of both post partum/ newborn care and level of professionalism is unlike any other. She catered to our every need and made our transition as smooth as possible. We are forever grateful for her support and kindness!"
